It's clear the 40-year-old presenter had managed to avoid the stringent travel restrictions this summer and escape to a glorious beachside location for a family retreat. Her 'Wylde Moonboard' shared polaroid of the star sat in a moored boat which read: "Portimao", a city in Portugal, which temporarily was put on the UK's green list in August.

Speaking on her holiday essentials, the website read: "I never leave for holiday without this hat from Eric Javits. It rolls up and it’s a soft material, so it’s the least high maintenance hat you’ll ever own!"

Holly continued: "Having grown up in Brighton, being by the sea or any sort of moving water is so important to me. It’s the place where I get a real sense of clarity and inspiration and the perfect place to plot and plan WYLDE MOON."

The jet-setting star also shared details of her unique hobby, writing: "I spend most of my holidays gazing up at the night sky and there’s no better bit of kit than a Celestron telescope to help capture the moon."
